Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates the contraction of smooth muscle in the wall of the uterus during childbirth and also stimulates the release of milk from the breast during breastfeeding. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) regulates water balance in the body and is not involved in these functions, while thyroxine is a hormone that regulates metabolism and has no direct effect on uterine contraction or milk release.
